Abstract: The step switch consists of a step-selector and load changeover switch. The selector has a separate vacuum switching cell for each transformer winding tapping to be switched, via which the tapping can be connected to load changeover switch so that the lines from the cells associated with the even number tappings are electrically connected to the first side of the changeover switch and those from the odd number cells are connected to the second side. A further vacuum cell (VAC1,VAC2) connected to each side (La,Lb) of the load changeover switch (LU) has lines connected to the load line of the step switch. A switchover reactance (Xu) is connected between the two further vacuum switching cells on the side remote from the load line and hence between the two sides of the load changeover switch.

Abstract: A setup procedure employing distributed hop-by-hop routing reduces the number of signaling messages needed to establish a service (i.e., connection), thus enhancing network performance. A service is setup between an origination node and a destination node which are a part of a network of communication nodes interconnected by links. Each node maintains a topological database representing the network topology. Initially, a setup message for initiating the service is transmitted from the origination node to a neighboring node that serves as a local node. The topological database is then updated after the local node receives the setup message by eliminating links connected to a particular set of nodes. This set of nodes includes those nodes other than the local node that have previously transmitted a setup or failure message for the service. A shortest path is next determined from the local node to the destination node over the updated topology and another setup message is transmitted from the local node to a first neighboring node in the shortest path. The previously-mentioned steps are repeated, beginning with the step of updating the topological database, where the neighboring node now serves as a subsequent local node. The steps are repeated until either a setup message reaches the destination node so that the service enters a connected state or no shortest path is found at the origination node, which indicates that the service has failed to enter a connected state.

Abstract: Semiconductor chips (12), such as photosensor arrays for a full-page-width scanner or printhead chips for a full-page-width ink-jet printer, are mounted on a substrate (10) to maintain reasonably consistent spacing between adjacent chips. To remove a defective chip (12b) from the array, the substrate (10) is urged evenly against a work surface defining a convex bow. In an alternative embodiment (Fig.3), back-cuts (13) are provided along abutting edges of the chips (12), and the silicon around these back-cuts (13) can be sawed away to increase the space between a defective chip (12b) and neighboring good chips (12a,12c). By increasing the spacing of a defective chip (12b) from neighboring chips (12a,12c), the defective chip (12b) can be removed while minimizing the risk of damage to neighboring chips (12a,12c). Also, batches of chips (12) can be originally manfactured on a single wafer as either "regular" chips or "replacement" chips, with the replacement chips being slightly shorter in a critical dimension.

Abstract: An ultrasonic bone testing apparatus has a foot well assembly and a shin guide assembly which are mechanically coupled to secure a foot and lower leg of patient in a comfortable position, during the measurement process. The shin guide assembly includes a molded form lined with contoured foam lining which has a shin restraint section, an instep guide section and a foot restraint section. An adjustable strap attached to the shin restraint section is placed around the calf. An instep support guide having sliding blocks is mounted on the molded form. The sliding blocks are inserted into respective channels of respective bridge brackets of the foot well assembly to attach the shin guide assembly to the foot well assembly. The channels and sliding blocks are lined with respective ratchet teeth to permit the latching of the shin guide assembly to foot well assembly at a selected one of multiple levels, and thereby the foot and lower leg can be secured comfortably. The apparatus further includes a transducer drive mechanism for positioning a pair of transducer assemblies. A controller automatically modifies the positioning of the transducer assemblies until ultrasonic coupling is achieved and a receiving transducer receives a signal of a predetermined quality. The distance between the transducers is continuously measured by a position encoder. The controller calculates a speed of the ultrasonic signals through the foot using the distance between the transducers which is determined by the position encoder. The controller uses temperature readings from a temperature sensor to improve the accuracy of the position encoder measurements and correct for temperature dependent inaccuracy in the ultrasound measurement. A coupling pad and acoustical delay line of the transducer assembly provide a waveguide function to collimate an acoustical beam a sufficient distance along a propagation axis to allow wavefronts to evolve onto a more uniform intensity pattern. The elastomer coupling pad has an angled surface which expels air bubbles from a contact area when pressure is applied to the pad. The coupling pad preferably is made of polyurethane with a durometer of 10 to 15 Shore A. Petroleum jelly is used as a coupling gel to more efficiently couple the ultrasonic energy. The coupling gel may be replaced by self-wetting coupling pads.

Abstract: A method of designing a logic circuit including pass
transistors is disclosed. A logic group having a complementary
variable in a given logical expression to be realized into the
logic circuit is mapped using a multiplexer composed of a
combination of the pass transistors. The number of transistors
used in the logic circuit and the number of stages can be
reduced by taking advantage of the multiplexer. When a logic
circuit including both pass transistors and a multiple-input
logic gate is designed, a logic group having a common variable
in the given logical expression is mapped using the
multiple-input logic gate. The number of transistors used in the
logic circuit and the number of stages can be further reduced
by taking advantage of the multiple-input logic gate. In order
to ease the above mapping procedure, a complementary variable
is identified and the given logical expression is optimized by
grouping product terms of the logical expression by the
complementary variable. Furthermore, a common variable is
identified, and the logical expression is further optimized by
grouping product terms of the logical expression by the common
variable.
